Deciding to begin therapy is an important first step in a rewarding process of personal growth.

Whether you are looking to better understand yourself and your relationships, get assistance in navigating through a particular issue or period of change, or get help in managing depression or anxiety, therapy can be an invaluable tool.

A New York City Private Therapy Practice

I am a New York State licensed clinical social worker. I have been working with individuals, couples and families for over a decade in different settings ranging from non-profit organizations to specialized hospital units. My experience includes individual psychotherapy, family therapy, couples counseling and group work. I have expertise and specialize in the treatment of eating disorders.
In my New York City private therapy practice, I offer short-term goal directed psychotherapy as well as longer-term psychotherapy. I also provide supervision and consultation to clinicians in the field.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Liberal Arts with honors from Washington University in St. Louis and my Master of Science in Social Work from Columbia University. I have completed the Certificate Program in Psychoanalysis at the William Alanson White Institute of Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis and Psychology.
